It is best to use the most appropriate fastener for your construction project. For instance, when building or assembling things for outdoor use (such as a deck), be sure to use properly treated nails or screws that have been rated for outdoor use. Failing to do so may result in the fasteners rusting and possibly failing. Yes, I will at some point be disassembling and rebuilding an 8' x 8' 2nd story deck that was constructed using improperly rated fasteners and 'green' wood.
